Surrounded by dark and cold stone I am
What is this place? What am I doing here? All is silent, all is so still I feel the stones coldness against my back Am I awake or is this a dream? I cannot tell, my eyes see nothing at all Am I alive or is this my death? I feel no wind, nor can I hear any sounds The air is so cold, the air is so damp Oh could it be I am inside my own tomb? Is this the end of my existence? I cannot see; darkness is everywhere Numb by the pain, I try to move From my bed of stone, from this cold lonely vault I must escape, I have to get out Slowly I arise ...No memories... Suddenly I see a glimpse of light I slowly move towards the enticing light ...The light... So distant and pale blue it glows It seems to fade away before my very eyes ...No memories... I walk through the dark I must reach the light Before it disappears into the pitch black That surrounds me Tired steps, stumbling on Through the dark, for the light I'm getting closer I'm almost there Will it reveal the truth? Show me where I am? Bleeding steps, from the dark, finally I am there Out from the dark, into the light I stand outside, feeling the wind on my face My body aches, my mind is tired With fear I gaze on the landscape before my eyes In ruins it lays, a forsaken place A desolate ground under the stars up above In silence I stand, staring alone Into the night sky... 02. Forlorn Music & lyrics by Isole
All lies in ruins
The world is silent Under an awakening sun With dread I wander Across the wasteland, through dust and empty streets No signs of life In this barren landscape All lies withered before my eyes No sounds, nor scents Not even laughter In this desolate, cold Hell I cry without tears, forlorn I have become What is this place? What has happened? I cannot believe my eyes Where are the ones I used to honor? All my past forever gone I cry without tears, forlorn I have become I cry without tears, alone I shall remain Fear inside, cannot hide From its grasp, ripping me Loneliness, tears my soul To a shell, (of) void and pain The night will come With chilling darkness And haunting dreams in restless sleep I glance into The distant sunset And try to calm my anguished mind I cry without tears, forlorn I have become I cry without tears, alone I shall remain 03. Nightfall Music & lyrics by Isole
Lying here again
Questions eating my mind No answers to find To why I am here What have I done? Is this my punishment? Will I spend my time on earth alone? The wind starts to blow I wrap my cloths tighter Around my tired body Weary from this pain Please let me out From this awaken nightmare With dread I gaze into the setting sun Now the Dark will take my soul again And my heart longs for the end The end of this pain, of loss, of the loneliness And life! The day comes to an end Coldness sets its talons Deep into my flesh And chills my weakened soul I am at unrest I cannot find peace Nor any answers to this uncertainty Now the Dark will take my soul again And my heart longs for the end The end of this pain, of loss, of the loneliness And life! Oh, father Creator of all Hear my plea Please forgive my soul Now the Dark will take my soul again And my heart longs for the end The end of this pain, of loss, of the loneliness And life! 04. Hollow Shrine Music & lyrics by Isole
In the nights embrace, sadness cloaks my eyes
I stare into the cold empty space up above From deep within I hear a cry Forming with my voice, a wish to die Lost is my past, Shrouded in haze No future I have In this hollow shrine Have my deeds Caused our downfall From Gods grace Into this Gehenna My birth, Worlds demise? All I've lost Everything is gone now Damned I stand Alone until the end My God Forgive me! Blinded by my tears I retire into a shell Close my eyes to the truth, I curse the day I was born Lost is my past, Shrouded in haze No future I have In this hollow shrine 05. Soulscarred Music & lyrics by Isole
I'm inside this void
Where silence screams louder and louder Trapped without walls in an empty world I scream without voice Silent words that none will ever hear A silent plea, for mercy and relief Father, Forgive me What I have done! My spirit Is in pain Please set me free! Mother, Sooth my wounds! Save my mind! My scarred soul Falls apart Please set me free! Silence, it surrounds me Within its embrace All is still and calm Nothingness I bear the worlds Sins on my back Since they are my sins I must repent, now From the grief I feel, Please set me free From the fear I feel, Please set me free From the pain I feel, Please set me free From the loss I feel, Please set me free 06. Peccatum Music & lyrics by Isole
From the sins of my past, the signs of my guilt
I cannot escape, nor hide away I will always bear its mark on my soul Forgiveness I seek, to redeem In regret I wander aimlessly For lifetimes to spend in my shame 07. Dark Clouds Music & lyrics by Isole
No More!
I have fallen into the depths of my soul's shame All humanity have witnessed my failure and pain No More! Dark clouds fill my sky and mind Clouds of fear There is no light at the horizon Nor hope for a new dawn No more! An existence of perpetual sorrow and anguish My end I will greet The release from this loathsome coil Set my spirit free By dawn, I lie cold Drained of life Drained of sin But still not dead Why? |
